One or two of us on here have gotten a replacement part from here.  Cheaper than Genuine GM and just as good.

Others on here may put their comments as to if they would get one from here to?

The part you are pointing to does look like a steering idler to me.They can be replaced by yourself,you might want a second pair of helping hands.The maintenance guide below shows you how to do it.If you can afford genuine Vx parts then get them as the pattern parts aren't much cheaper to buy but in the long run will need replacing quicker.

Here's the link how to do it :-

right changed idler arm, no difference to handling still wanders everywhere seems to be getting worse if anything. whilst i had the wheel off did notice that the inner side of the brake disc is really worn and also makes a whiring noise while driving.

How about wishbone bushes?

Might be an idea to replace discs and pads on tradeclub
